Happy Sunday, everyone. Thank you for yet another SPS, always a favorite weekend stop. I appreciate all the knowledge and beautiful pictures shared on these threads, and the Buck forums in general.

Nothing special for me today. A couple users. 2 dot 112, and the new 110LT. Really loving the LT as an EDC, it sits nicely next to my wallet in my back pocket. I don’t notice it’s size or weight back there. :thumbsup:

Last week I did a show and tell regarding putting a #5X40TPI screw in the pivot of a 110 LT to enable blade changes. Notice that the Lites that are assembled with rivets do not have a lanyard hole and cannot utilize the push pin. The hole in the black Bucklite was enlarged to 1/4”. At the time, that was the smallest diameter pin I could find. These new 110 LT’s have 3/16” hole which needs no sizing.View attachment 837841View attachment 837842View attachment 837843
This week my objective is to put a push pin release lanyard in the 110 LT. Push pins come in different diameters and lengths usually expressed in fractional inches. The pin that the 110 LT needs is 3/16” in diameter and 5/8” grab length (the distance between the shoulder of rhe pin and the retractable ball bearings at the tip). The pin I have on hand is only 1/2” long so the bearings can’t grab the distal edge of the lanyard hole. All I need is a 5/8” long pin.
I use these lanyards as a loss prevention attachment. Usually I detach the lanyard when the knife is in use unless I’m cleaning fish at the end of the dock. The other end of the lanyard attaches to my belt. Length is optional. I put a stopper knot in the lanyard to locate the knot in an out of the way place. A longer lanyard could go over one shoulder and under the opposite arm (not around the neck).

I think that might be the best selection of 118s I've ever seen. The 118 holds a special place in my heart as it is the reason for my love of Buck knives and knives in general . It was my dad's knife and I always wanted one like his growing up. He got my first knife for me on a camping trip for my 16th birthday, a buck 119.

Thank you to everyone who posted to another wonderful show.

Your push pin idea is great. Do you get them at a nut and bolt supply house?
 
View attachment 837896 I got them at a local machinery supply in Muskegon called Reid Tool Supply. They got bought out and their name has changed , but I suspect they’re still in business. The pins are fairly expensive because they’re used on ocean racing yachts and need to be corrosion resistant. They last forever.
 
First of all I want to thank everyone that takes the time to post here
on the SPS , I look forward to every Sunday to see all the great knives .

Here is a double dash 110 finger groove you just don't see many of these around .
